Treefrogs

Cuban Treefrog

(Osteopilus septentrionalis)

NON-NATIVE, INVASIVE SPECIES

Cuban Treefrog - brown with green line on side

Adult Cuban Treefrogs are large, "fat" frogs with somewhat warty skin and large toe pads - larger than those of native treefrogs. The color can be highly variable. NOTE - some Cuban Treefrogs have a light line running down the side, and can be confused with Green Treefrogs.

But -

• Green Treefrogs usually have a white line running down the side, bordered in black
• the skin on the head of Cuban Treefrogs is fused to the skull, toepads are enlarged, and young Cuban Treefrogs have blue bones

For more information about the Cuban Treefrog, read "The Cuban Treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) in Florida".
